Stop Signature campaigns. I need theymos to see this.

[Leeke]

I'm joined this airdrop.
Good project.
I wait for more info but I truly behind this project....

 

Its those shit posts that annoy me the most. And a lot of them are from newbs that don't even have a signature. Admittedly I don't get around the forum much - but the threads I do peruse - those posts there are the single most annoying ones.

Signature campaigns was introduce so that there is a way to advertise crypto currencies, it's market and it's purpose, so if campaigns will be prohibited what would be the use of this forum? after all the reason why investors get the chance to choose a good project is thru various promotion like signature and bounty campaigns. We cannot help but accept the fact that we cannot eliminate shit poster, the best thing we can do is imposed other regulations like the merit system so that people will be obliged to work hard on their post quality.

Stop posts about other post are much better. QUALITY.
There are more post about merit than bitcoins now.

Fully agreed with you, also this forum will have profit from those bounty/signature campaign i am right? (correct me if i'm wrong). Trough ICO's project that we promote by wearing signature, both forum and members also have profit here...
The best thing to do is lessen required post from bounty/signature campaign at least 15 post per account and having a minimum characters per post 150 characters i think its just enough for reducing shit poster and spamming through this forum.
Merit system now having a good impact to the forum but many users barking about the ranking system of merit, yeah i admit my self it's really hard to rank up, supposed to be i am full member now but i am still here at member rank.

I think he is only because in the negative side of some users who are not yet there in terms of improving their post but as you can see the quality of their post is clearly developing and improving step by step you just need to be patient and don't be so hasty in being judgemental on others mate.

Nothing can change the signature campaign that's an ICO business and ANN sweetener forum no ants are looking for this deserted and tasteless forum.

[Emilyearl]

Banning signature campaign, will or won't do the forum any better. Maybe some functions can be delegated to bounty managers as to criterias that make a signature bounty hunter eligible for a given bounty. The bounty managers should always check a participants posts history before accepting them into thier campaigns. I'm sure people will improve on their post quality in order to be eligible for signature campaigns.

[yojodojo21]

OP is just Like Saying That The Sections which produce signature, bounty,twitter,facebook,reddit,youtube,blog, campaigns and etc. should be remove? for what purpose then? it's really painful in the eyes to see shit threads that is why merit feature was implemented. it will not be helpful in the forum if campaigns will be removed . how bout if OP complain to all the Developers out there that don't make project so there will be no more advertisement in Bitcointalk isn't that a good idea? although you have a point to be consider, But Admin theymos knows the best. Let Him and other superiors Decide.

[Maestro75]

You need to stop shitposting in this forum, right? Then stop bounty programs and signature campaigns. This is the main reason for shit posting. If you really want to save the forum, stop signature campaigns .

This is thinking from a retrogressive perspective. Doing what the OP has suggested can only be counter productive. Whether we accept the reality or we live in denial of it that the major thing which has kept this forum bubbling and fast growing is the signature and bounty campaigns. Hardly is there any crypto enthusiast who hasn't read or heard about the bitcointalk.org site. All thanks to the traffic the signature campaign has brought this forum. I believe stopping this will deal this forum a hard blow. But I would like for Theymos to experiment in this.

Maybe it's the quality of the sig campaigns that is the problem, If three quarters of them were banned, then lurkers and other visitors would be less likely to be scammed, and maybe Bitcoin could start to improve its image.

Oh, really that bitcoin could start to improve its image?

[cellard]

It has been explained a million times why it's stupid to get rid of signature campaigns. What do you think Roger Ver will do the very second theymos globally banned signature campaigns? exactly, this forum would lose tons of traffic, and Roger Ver would promote the bitcoin (dot) com forum as the "official bitcoin signature campaign" forum. This will cause his forum having a better SEO ranking and when people google "bitcoin forum" they will end up on there. Do you really want that? Nope.

There is still plenty of good discussion in this forum. Bookmark the posters you find of quality and follow their posts, it's not that difficult. Also there are sections in the forum now that will not pay you if you post there (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=250.0)

Also, the "Development & Technical Discussion" section is of high quality even if people can wear their signature there.

Just ignore the 10000 page threads and you should be ok, who cares if they spam on there.

I don't think this is a good idea to remove signatures and bounty campaigns from bitcointalk forums. Promotion ICO in bitcointalk it's a good thing for all of us, the forum will be more active and people can enroll and promote campaigns and then they make money, Even theymos make money by advertising campaigns in this forum.

Well I agree that removing any Bounty Campaigns in this Forum is not wise Choice.
I am sure 50% member in this forum get their bucks in this Forum.
Sure the problem is Post Quality, if Bounty Thread just irritating this Forum, why Theymos didn't announce to stop it?

PS : It seems OP just jealous and make this topic.

[maeusi]

Theymos could try that out for a few weeks to see, what would happen.

[PerLasz]

Why so harsh to speak out your selfish ambition.? Not 100s, 1000s but millions I guess who participate in this place including I. If Theymos implement it to ban signature campaign, he is not human but more than beast. I think more people are thankful for being here than regretful persons. More lives than death by joining here.

I think the best thing is go out of this place if you are selfish. You have a better place outside than being here.
I wish the best

I am willing to sacrifice earnings to make this forum decent and spam free.

What earnings? Those optional ones that you may or may not have in a couple months? With this whole attitude of yours and the merit system in place it's probably going to be years. Such sacrifice.

Are you a professional bowman? I'm asking because you (probably unintentionally) managed to hit OP right in the knee.

happy to see a new coin from our country. All the best

My thoughts is that these signature campaign is obsolete in todays social media world. They can spam telegram, Facebook, email accounts, twitter etc to promote their ICO/airdrop/Bounties.

This forums would be better off with focused discussion on real issues, ideas, Anns etc. People can still earn their bounties in the other arenas. Bitcointalk has been diluted to a point of ridicule. I wholeheartedly agree with OP, but unfortunately I do not have any merit to prove this.

I don't know, do you really know what is a signature campaign? Do you think that it would be good if promoting ICO is prohibited here in the forum. Let me tell you mate this not only for all smart philosophers or battle of the brains ( as I observed ), its all about business. why do you think mods created a bounties section for altcoins? They also have benefits even you, I admit even me. Some of big investors are here on this forum, so represent a signature here in this forum is more better.

If organizations are still actively paying for signature campaign you can bet they're effective at advertising. People wouldn't pay for an ineffective way to advertise, and IIRC some campaigns in the past even included a link in the signature code so every click would be logged.

Merit itself has partially caused this Meta subforum to absolutely blow up. Discussion between people that have a pulse still happens in most subforums, but less so in subforums like Bitcoin Discussion. I personally would like more moderation in subs like those to eliminate people reiterating the same points over and over again and to prevent signature spammers from copy-pasting and editing their garbage responses there. Ever since Frodocooper was added to the Mining subforum as a mod, spamming has almost ground to a complete halt there (though there have been times moderation was questionable like in the KNC thread). Moderation might be a bit costly but it's absolutely worth it.

[lucario21]

Signature campaign meant for adversiting an ICO within the forum and it would resulted a huge impact on bounty campaign. I think we should leave it to bounty managers they have to become more strict when it comes to validating our post during checking of campaign accomplishment.

I can't tell if this post is supposed to be ironic because I don't even understand what it means...which is what this thread is about--garbage shitposts.  I swear 90% of users in the main, English section can't write anything in fucking English.  It's ridiculous, and then every one of these idiots acts so stunned that they haven't earned any merits. 

I agree with the above user, that the airdrop shitposters are the worst, but I have that whole section on ignore, and when I have visited it's been to report such posts.  It is against the rules to post "joined" and the like.
